At what age did you buy your first M car?

I grew up playing all the Need For Speed games and I always knew I wanted an M car from the days I laid my eyes on the M3 GTR from NFS Most Wanted. Later I n high school I became obsessed with the M3 E92 and it only made my desire to own one stronger.

Fast forward to age 27; I finally made my dream of owning an M car a reality. What about you guys? How did your M journey go?
